Motion by Etheredge, second by Sullivan, to
approve Resolution 04-11-13-Z3.
Subdivision Application 17699 of Hanford
Swenka requesting preliminary and final plat
approval of Swenka Harvest Estate, a subdi-
vision described as being located in the SE
1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 7, Township 80
North, Range 7 West of the 5th p.m. in John-
son County, Iowa. This is a 1 lot, 1.50 acre
farmstead split, located on the north side of
250th Street NW, approximately 3500 feet
west of its intersection with Half Moon Av-
enue NW in Madison Township.
Busard explained the applicant wants to
separate the manufactured house from the
farm, while maintaining a common access off
of 250th Street NW. Enough distance did not
separate the shed and outbuilding to create the
necessary drive width for a typical flagpole
lot. Instead, a common access easement will
be granted for the small shared portion, and
the rest of the access drive will go around the
buildings along the west.
Harney asked about the strip of land to the
left of the common access. Hart-Frederick
Consultant L.L.S. Scott Ritter said right-of-
way off of 250th Street NW needed to be
dedicated to the County, and the strip allows
the future drive to avoid the dedicated right-
of-way.
Sullivan said if this land changes ownership,
a flagpole lot with a shared drive can cause a
large problem for any future owners' expecta-
tions of a shared drive. He asked if the shed
could be moved to accommodate a straight
drive. Busard replied the buildings are pretty
nice; the shared access is the best option to
preserve farmland.

First and Second consideration of An Amend:
ment to the Johnson County Unified Develop-
ment Ordinance adding a new permitted use in
the C-Commercial District. Chapter 8:1.10.I.
is hereby amended by replacing subsection
8:1.10.1.10 with the following language: 10.
Wineries and moving the current subsection
8:1.10.I.10 to a new subsection 8:1.10.I. 11.
Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator
R.J. Moore presented the history of the ordi-
nance amendment. Rettig asked if a winery
also includes breweries. Moore said no, and
this ordinance does not address breweries.
Rettig said making wine is considered a
commercial purpose, but distilling is light in-
dustry. She asked Moore how the permitted
use corresponds with the distinction. Moore
said treatment is similar to brew pubs; a pub
is the permitted use and the brewing is an ac-
cessory use. As a winery permitted use in the
Commercial District, wine can be sold with a
tasting room.
Sullivan said he considers a winery to consist
of acres of grapevines, like (.edar Ridge Vine-
yards Winery & Distillery. Moore said win-
eries are a permitted use in the Agricultural
District, with a tasting room only. However,
a winery can also be a standalone retail out-
let, without growing. Sullivan said he favors
preserving the limited amount of commercial
property for commercial use, not agricultural
use.
Motion by Sullivan, second by Eheredge, to
waive the requirement of three colsiderations
before approving An Ordinance Amending the
Johnson County Unified Development Ordi-
nance by Adding a New Permitted Use in the
C-Commercial District, Chapter 8:1.10.I. Roll
call: aye: Etheredge, Hamey, Rettig, Sullivan;
absent: Neuzil.
Motion by Harney, second by Sullivan to
approve An Ordinance Amending the Johnson
County Unified Development Ordinance by
Adding a New Permitted Use in the C-Com-
mercial District, Chapter 8:1.10.I. on first and
second consideration. Roll call: aye: Ether-
edge, Harney, Rettig, Sullivan; absent: Neuzil.

Splinters from the Bench
First of all, congratulations to
Megan Flemr on qualifying for
the Drake Relays in the 100 meter
dash. Good luck to her in Des
MoineS this weekend.
We went to the casino last week
for the Washington County I-Club
Spring function. The coaches
heard from were women's basket-
ball assistant Shannon Gage, re-
tired football coach Norm Parker
and head wrestling coach Tom
Brands and head men's basket-
ball coach Fran McCaffery
As usual, Norm had some jokes
for the crowd. He told one about
driving past a farm and seeing
a sign that said "Talking dog for
sale." He asked the farmer about
the dog and he said he's in the
back yard. So Norm went to see
him. He asked the dog about his
history The dog said he was from
New Hampton and had played
football there and went to Iowa
and played linebacker there and
played in the pros and then came
back to the farm. Norm asked
the farmer how much he wanted
for the dog. The farmer said $50.
Norm asked, "Why only $50 for a
dog that's done all of that?" The
farmer said "He's a big fat liar.
He's never been out of the back
yard." He also told about going to
a brain store looking for a brain
for a player who was a little short
between the ears. The Owner said
he had a football coaches brain
for $5.00, basketball coaches
brains for $5.00 and wrestling
coaches brains for $500.00.Norm
asked why the wrestling coach
brain was so high and the owner
said it was because it hadn't been
used.
The film clip that they showed
for the football segment kept
showing the running backs.
picking up big yardage over the
left side of the line. Norm com-
mented about that. He said things
were going well and then came

the Penn State game. On one play
the left guard got hurt. On the
next play the left tackle got hurt.
The left side of the line spent the
rest of the season in the hospital
or recovering. He held out hope
for this year.
Shannon Gage pointed out that
Iowa is the only Big Ten team to
qualify for the NCAA Tourna-
ment in each of the last six years
and one of only 18 nationwide. Of
course, she didn't mention that
they always have been a low seed
and got splattered early, like this
year. She says they will be good
next year even with Printy and
Johnson departing.
Brands talked about needing
to get more action from his wres-
tlers. St. John did a great job,
overcoming a lot of adversity He
said he wants firepower at every
weight. He also mentioned that
there is an unexpected coalition
coming together to get wrestling
back in the Olympics. Russia,
Iran and the United States are
three of the countries that are
leading the fight. McCaffrey talk-
ed about the great experience the
team got playing in the NIT.
The Kernels have a six game
homestand. They start off on
the 25th with three against
Great Lakes and then have three
against Lansing. The week night
games start at 6:35, the Satur-
day game at 5:05 and the Sunday
game at 2:05.
